I still need some help on this one, I think its the config file for apache that needs to be edited. I have tried to edit many times and just end up fuking up apache.
If anyone can help me with this i can post the HTTP server configuration file
thanks

Apache is made for *nix and runs much more happily on *nix machines. As Linux is more reliable, and there is tons of help freely available for any problems you may encounter, why not just switch and not encounter the problems in the first place?
There is a section in the apache config for your site that probably says:
CustomLog /path/to/access.log common
You want to change common to combined
If in the main apache config you cannot find a definition for combined, or, it complains on restart:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
is the line that you need somewhere in your config to define combined logging which will show referrers. (Though, apache through the wisdom of an early typo has decided to misspell referrer for years).
